    Pigpen I've got to see how DS2 is tomorrow, they have a little baby girl so if he's yukky we're not going, saying baby she's 8 months or something. If we're coming I'll know by tomorrow evening, will see what plans DP makes and if I can talk him round to visiting I will! Will be PMing you tomorrow evening if we are so keep a space in your box for me! Will have the boys with us, but what's 2 more mad children with the amount you have at home......:D

    We have 2 PS2's, a Wii, 7 DS lites, 1 DS, 1 laptop and 5 PC's.. I'm sure we can find the 3 boys something to do lol.. They can go be crazy with my boys lol.. we have had nothing but shrieking and squealing all day as they kill things on the Wii star wars thing..

    They'd be utterly devastated that I bear very little resemblence to Miss Piggy with a name like Pigpen.. lol (our feet are the same!)

    Star Wars would be a magic word, they will bring their DSs aswell as I need silence at some point if we're travelling lots, stop getting too excited, DS2 might be a snot monster yet, actually no, if he's a snot monster I can bypass seeing baby and come to pigpens house instead. Will discuss with DP in morning :D because he was in a lack of sleep moody strop when he went to bed so I couldn't be arsed to ask him then!

    **Sits waiting until midnight so she can have a chocolate as pigpen banned them for today** ( no I haven't told the kids you said they couldn't have any sweets today or they would hate you :D )

    Will eat my chocolate I have waited ALL day for then bed time, night night all xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Night all.

    Thanks pigpen for the list. Count me in again please. I hope to get to level 3 most days this week as I am at home until 5th Jan.

    I have loads of extras in mind but need to work out what I can realistically do and make a sensible list (I am list challenged). I also need to work out what my dailies must be so that I keep on top of things. In the past I have just been getting on with no clue as to what I need to get done. Consequently I had no way of knowing if I was on track, nearly finished or trailing a bit. This made me feel like life was a long trek of never-ending work. Until I can sort this though I am going to do what I am told as it is working for me so far and I feel like I am getting some where.

    Welcome Hawthorn, Dizabelle, jacci45, kazzaw, suzieq, LOUBOB, beemuzed, QOTD, hellbells45.

    Dizabelle – hope the vacs go well. My LOs had them week before xmas. DD had her second set and she didn’t cry for ½ but did a little for 2/2. I gave her calpol 1hr before. DS on the other hand started hollering as the nurse was prepping he’s wise to them now.
    The work will wait for you to finish showing the LOs the rainbow, but the rainbow would not wait for you to finish the work.
